Privacy Policy for karmaly.top

Last updated: July 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how karmaly.top (the “Site”) collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you visit or interact with our blog, which publishes articles about blogging. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices, including in relation to cookies, analytics, and third-party advertising such as Google AdSense.

By using karmaly.top, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

  • Contact form submissions: When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and any message you submit. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not sell or share this data for marketing purposes.
  • Comments: When you leave a comment on a blog post, we collect the data you enter in the comments form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to help spam detection. Your name and comment text will be publicly visible on the Site. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it – the Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if any) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience, analyze site traffic, and serve relevant advertisements. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.
  • Analytics: We use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to collect non-personal information about how visitors use the Site. This includes pages visited, time spent, browser type, device type, and general geographic location (city-level). This data is aggregated and used to improve our content and user experience.
  • Log data: Our servers automatically record information (“log data”) including your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, and operating system. This data is used for security, troubleshooting, and analytics.

2. Third-Party Advertising & Google AdSense

2.1 How Ads Use Cookies / Device Identifiers

karmaly.top may display advertisements served by Google AdSense or other third-party ad networks. These ad networks use cookies, web beacons, and device identifiers (such as advertising IDs on mobile devices) to:

  • Measure the effectiveness of ads and deliver relevant content.
  • Build a profile of your interests based on your browsing history across different websites.
  • Show you personalized ads that are more relevant to you.
  • Limit the number of times you see the same ad.

These technologies collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and the time and date of your visit. This data is processed by the ad networks under their own privacy policies.

2.2 Personalized Ads & Your Choices

You may see personalized ads on karmaly.top based on your interests. You have the right to opt out of personalized advertising. We encourage you to review the following resources:

Please note that opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will see fewer ads; you will still see generic (non-personalized) ads.

2.3 Third-Party Vendors

We use Google AdSense as our primary advertising partner. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to our Site and other websites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting https://adssettings.google.com (as mentioned above). For more information on how Google uses data, see https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

3. Contact Forms & Comments

As described in Section 1, contact form submissions and comments are voluntary. We retain contact form inquiries for customer service purposes only; we do not use them for marketing. Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so that we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. You can request deletion of your comment or contact form data by emailing us at the address below.

4. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information publicly or with partners (e.g., analytics providers, ad networks) as described above. We may also disclose your information if required by law, to protect our rights, or to comply with a legal process.

5. Data Retention

  • Contact form submissions: Retained for up to 12 months after the last communication, unless a longer retention is necessary for legal reasons.
  • Comments: Retained indefinitely as part of the public conversation on the blog.
  • Analytics data: Retained for up to 26 months (Google Analytics default) and then automatically deleted.
  • Log data: Retained for up to 30 days for security and troubleshooting purposes.
